About The Crew
The Crew is a 2014 open-world racing game from Ivory Tower and Ubisoft that lets you drive across a stylized version of the United States. It features cars, motorcycles, planes, and boats, with a focus on exploring highways, forests, and cities. The game blends solo adventures with co-op and online multiplayer, letting you complete challenges or race against other players. It launched on PS4, PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, with a mix of single-player and MMO elements. If you want to cruise coast to coast with friends or strangers, this is your pick.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time switching between vehicles to tackle missions like races, stunts, or cargo runs. Each region, like New York or California, has distinct terrain and events. Controls prioritize arcade-style handling, making drifts and jumps feel responsive but forgiving. Sessions often involve hopping between a car and a jet to chase objectives, while side activities include racing other players in open roads. Multiplayer matches let teams coordinate races or challenges, but solo play remains the core. The map is dense with tasks but lacks the polish of later open-world racers.
What Players Think
The Crew holds a 64.2/100 on IGDB from 177 ratings, with many citing dated graphics and a bloated mission structure. Community moods lean mixed, 45% positive, 35% negative, 20% neutral. Average playtime is 35 hours, with 18% of players completing 100% of objectives. Achievement completion sits at 62%, and the game still sees occasional online activity. Reviewers note it’s “ambitious but unfocused” and “better for brief drives than long-term play.”
PlayPile's Take
The Crew is a niche pick for fans of open-world racing who don’t mind its 2014 age. It offers broad exploration and co-op fun but struggles with repetitive missions and a lack of modern polish. With no price listed, it’s best for those wanting a low-stakes, vehicle-packed road trip. Stick to solo mode if the online feels dead, and consider it a stepping stone between Forza and more recent racers.
